On one arm swings you really want to make sure you keep your shoulders/upper body square. You don't want to let the kettlebell pull you into rotation.

Why One Arm Swings Make You Rockstar Hot

I'm a big fan of two arm swings, they're the best ever. They are one of the biggest, fastest, most intense, full body fat loss movements there is.

Everything you would ever want in a fat loss movement, you get in the kettlebell swing. It's the best fat loss movement there is.

One arm swings are even better than that: You get 40% more core and glute activation!

In other words, it works your butt harder, it builds that kind of core strength we want for a healthy back, and it's more intense (more work), so it's even better for fat loss.

It's really awesome if you have a kettlebell that you've been using for two hand swings, and it's gotten easy. You can actually use one kettlebell size and adjust the movement for a large range of difficulties:
